The love of a father withheld from his son.
Hurtful words which cannot be undone.
Resentment towards him for being the one,
the one that's left behind.
*
If by obeying, the pain he can ease,
He will do all he can to please,
But his life is in danger, the onlooker sees
In the one that's left behind.
*
Saved from death now he has to restart
And help mend the lives that were torn apart.
Yet there remains sorrow in his heart
To be the one that's left behind.
